I just got a odd friend's request out of nowhere while playing online yesterday. I didn't even know it was in my message.

I declined it. I didn't know who the heck it was and I always get weary when someone just randomly sends friend's requests like that. It was the first time I got something like this.

So just wondering to everyone else here. Did you ever get random friend's request from someone you don't know before? If so, do you accept them or decline?

I used to accept them until I realized that I will never play with them again if I ever did that is.

I accept 'em. Sometimes they message me later and and we have a conversation/play something. There's no real reason not to; you can always just delete them later if they get on your nerves.

depends, like i was playin MW2 with my brother and cousin and we got into a match with someone, seemed pretty cool and we stayed in the group with them for a bit and had alot of fun, decided to back out and invite to the game so we could be in the same team evertime, and had a blast, so we added each other, now we have fun evertime on there

I usually ask how they know me, cause for about a year and a half I lent my GT to my best friend. So obviously he might have told people of my GT, and they probably took a long time to send a request so I have to explain them this and redirect them to his new GT xD

Only has happened once though, but yeah it can happen

Oh and no unless it's from SFIV cause I love me some good ol fights :D

I only add random people If they have a Mic, and their very nice and Talkable. Otherwise, No. I did that last year and half the time, I'll never talk them in like 6 months so I'll never Accept a Random person's friend request ever again.

I have in the past but not anymore.Got one a few weeks ago,checked their profile and they didn't even play the same games as me.So I sent them a message saying "and who might you be?" and they never answered back so needless to say they were deleted:P

Yea I accept random friend request. I've meet few who were actually cool and ended up playing games with them time to time.
